DearComrade,

Yesterday’sconference convinced us finally of Some thing about Which
we had little doubt even before it, namely, that you in no way represent
the Bolshevik trend which you claim to represent in the C.C. Bureau Abroad.

Havingevery ground for considering ourselves representatives of the
Bolshevik trend, on the strength of lettersfrom like-minded comrades in Russia and of the policy pursued by the
Bolsheviks living abroad, we declare that your wavering policy, your
willingness to tolerate the presence in the C.C. Bureau Abroad of Igor, a
liquidator and plotter against the Party, to cover up the disruption by him
of Party
unity[2](instead of exposing Igor, of presenting an ultimatum to the
C.C. demanding his removal and resolutely combating the liquidators and
upholding the alliance of the Bolsheviks and thepro-PartyMensheviks, an alliance which alone couldperhapssave the cause
of unity)—this behaviour of yours convinces us that you, willingly or
unwillingly, are a pawn in the hands of the liquidators.

Wereserve the right, to bring our statement to the attention of the
Bolsheviks and, if need be, the entire Party and press.

[2]Thedisruption of Party unity by C.C. Bureau Abroad member
B. Gorev-Goldman (Igor) referred to here consisted in the following. On
March 16, 1910, the C.C. Bureau Abroad published as a leaflet the letter
“To All Comrades Abroad” urging all groups to abide by the decisions of
the January 1910 plenary meeting of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P., to take the most
vigorous steps to put an end to the organisational division, to follow the
example of the Bolsheviks and close factional organs. Together with the
representative of the Bund in the C.C. Bureau Abroad, Gorev-Goldman voted
against endorsing the letter. This was made public by the Editorial Board
ofGolos Sotsial-Demokratain its “Letter to Comrades”.
